...Both 23, they took off for New York with some crude, typewritten dummy sheets for a newsmagazine. Setting up shop in an old remodeled house on East 17th Street, they began to write a prospectus. Luce later recalled that going home one night on the subway "my half-glazed stare fell on an advertisement with the headline, TIME TO RETIRE, Or TIME FOR A CHANGE. I remember the name 'Time' occurring to me. It stayed with me overnight, and when I went in next morning, I suggested it to Hadden and he accepted it immediately...
...villain, O'Toole exhibits the now celebrated twitching lip and glazed stare that some viewers have seen too often-when he played Lawrence of Arabia, Lord Jim, and Becket's king. Omar Sharif, an Egyptian by birth, is German only by permission of the makeup and wardrobe departments, which have vainly tried to Teutonize him with severe pencil lines around the mouth and a crisp military tunic. Only Donald Pleasence, playing one of the generals who stays one jump ahead of the Sharif, infuses his role with a fresh mixture of blood and irony...
...This year, French children are asking Père Noël for the Astérix costumes, dolls and masks that are being sold all over the country.

For Christians, the age of anxiety is the age of ebbing faith, and Bishop Pike is not the only prophet crying out for the church to restate, reshape, renew. "Now is the time to renew, while there are still people...
...does this prematurely autobiographical book, which reveals, among other things, that martinis don't come with cherries. Seems that when Rona was 13, she wrote a story in which a lonely lady dining at Schrafft's "stared morosely at the cherry in the martini." The book ends with the intelligence, given a whole page to itself, that "a martini has an olive"; although, to be more precise, it is more frequently encountered nowadays in the company of a twist of dry lemon peel, or probably just the stare of the lonely lady. The book remorselessly follows Rona...
